Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for polynucleotide sequencing where detection and correction of base calling errors can be achieved without reliance on a reference sequence. In certain embodiments, redundant information can be introduced during measurement so as to allow such detection of errors. Such redundant information and measurements can be facilitated by encoding of nucleotide sequence being measured. Various examples of such encoding, redundancy introduction, and decoding are provided.
